No place to fly!

October 11, 2013

Turkish Airlines (THY) CEO Temel Kotil attended a conference held at the İstanbul Technical University (İTÜ) on 8 October, where he was met by a group of students, demonstrating in support of the strike at THY and protesting against the airline’s use of strike-breakers.

Kotil was invited to ITU as part of a career day organized by university management.

The group of students protested Kotil’s presence, chanting: “You have no place to fly Kotil – We are shoulder to shoulder with THY workers!”

The university management was forced to cancel the event.
